Metering power in data center

I am looking for suggestions on devices that can
monitor(A)/meter(kw/h) power usage in a data center. Getting a
metered PDU everywhere seems a little expensive and cumbersome.

Are there devices you can wire into breaker box to meter each AC circuit?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We use products from Veris. If you could be more specific as to what you want to meter (and where, and types / brands of panels), I could point you further.

We use the enersure product from trendpoint in our data center. I'm not the power guy but our mothership is an electric utility so I would assume it is a good choice.

Hi,

For our need, we use : http://www.lem.com/ They have a lot of products to do that. We use a magnetic meter. You don't need to break the circuit to implement it.
